Working with communities is the only way to identify local challenges and develop solutions that fit local needs and characteristics. The CCTS supports research that engages community partners across a wide spectrum of national, state and local agencies, including non-profit organizations and individuals. Through formal partnerships, seed grants, professional development, and research collaboration, our community collaborations are central to improving health and wellbeing.
